3D printer APS W 2.0

3D printer APS W 2.0

The APS W 2.0 is a modular 3D printer that combines Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) and Continuous Filament Fabrication (CFF) technologies, offering versatility in material usage and printing capabilities.

Its dynamic tool-changing system allows for the simultaneous use of up to four different materials, including standard thermoplastics like ABS and PLA, high-performance polymers such as PEEK and PEKK, continuous fibers like carbon and glass, and even metal and ceramic materials.

The APS W 2.0 features a build volume of up to 400*230*370 mm and supports high-temperature printing up to 500°C, making it suitable for functional prototypes, spare parts, and small-series production runs.

Engineered and assembled in Austria, the APS W 2.0 stands out for its adaptability and comprehensive material compatibility, catering to diverse industrial applications.
